Baumer UZAM 50N6121 Ultrasonic Sensor

The Baumer UZAM 50N6121 (Part No: 10131013) is a high-performance ultrasonic proximity sensor engineered for industrial applications demanding accurate long-range detection. It features a scanning range of 350 to 2500 mm, making it suitable for detecting large objects or measuring distances in packaging, material handling, and logistics systems. The sensor operates on a 12–30 VDC power supply and provides NPN make function (Normally Open) output, capable of handling up to 200 mA.

With a response time of less than 160 ms and repeat accuracy of 1 mm, it ensures consistent performance even in fast-moving production lines. The Teach-in adjustment feature simplifies on-site configuration, while the dual-color green/yellow LED indicator provides visual feedback for power and switching status. Designed with a rugged nickel-plated brass cylindrical housing (30 mm diameter, 95 mm length), the UZAM 50N6121 offers excellent durability in industrial environments. Its IP67-rated protection shields it from dust, water, and harsh conditions, and its 2-meter cable provides flexible installation options. Operating effectively within a temperature range of -10°C to +60°C, this sensor is trusted by engineers for reliable detection when photoelectric or capacitive sensors are unsuitable. With its long sensing distance, robust build, and precision output, the UZAM 50N6121 stands out as a go-to solution for demanding proximity sensing applications.

The UZAM 50N6121 is ideal for industrial automation systems that require long-range, non-contact detection—especially where optical sensors fail due to dust, moisture, or target surface type. It is widely used for tank level measurement, pallet presence detection, and bulk material handling. Its wide range of 2.5 meters makes it well-suited for overhead sensors in packaging, conveyor control, and storage systems.

Thanks to its rugged housing and IP67 rating, this sensor is frequently installed in outdoor or washdown environments, including food and beverage processing, logistics terminals, and construction material sorting lines. Engineers value its fast response time, stable signal, and Teach-in flexibility, which helps reduce setup time and improve detection accuracy on varied surfaces—whether metallic, plastic, or liquid. The UZAM 50N6121 is also a go-to sensor for automation trainers and technical institutions teaching advanced industrial sensor integration, providing hands-on experience with real-world sensing challenges.
